Module parsers 

Functions

extract_xml_declaration_from_raw

Extract XML declaration from raw XML (quickxml_to_serde drops it). Returns a Value object like {“@version”: “1.0”, “@encoding”: “UTF-8”, “@standalone”: “yes”} for use in build_xml_string. None if no declaration found.

extract_xmlns_from_raw

Extract xmlns attribute from raw XML (quickxml_to_serde drops it). Returns Some(value) if found, None otherwise.

mark_compact_elements

Mark elements written as a single-line “compact” wrapper around exactly one nested child element, with zero whitespace between the wrapper’s start tag, the child, and the wrapper’s end tag – e.g. Salesforce Flow’s <connector><targetReference>X</targetReference></connector> idiom. Marks by inserting "#compact": true on the wrapper element itself; build_xml_string consumes and strips it to render the wrapper and its single child on one line.

parse_element_unified

parse_to_xml_object

parse_unique_id_element

Get a unique ID for an element, using configured fields or a hash of the outer element when no configured field exists in the subtree.

parse_xml

Parses an XML file from a path.

parse_xml_from_str

Parses XML from a string. The file_path is used for error logging only. Uses custom parser that preserves CDATA sections (output as #cdata key).

short_hash_for_element

Hash an arbitrary XmlElement to its 8-character short hash. Exposed so the upstream collision detector can request a deterministic fallback for individual siblings without re-deriving the hash logic.

strip_whitespace_text_nodes

Remove meaningless whitespace-only #text nodes from the XML structure.
